Creating a new replica , replicates back

When a new replica is created from one server(server A) to the other (Server B), after the new replica is created , it continues to replicate back from Server B to Server A.

The following replication settings are set

  1. Do not send deletions made in this replica to other replicas.

  2. Selective document selection formula is enabled with the formula Select form=“sdfssdfsdf”.

  3. Advanced tab - replicate from and to server names appropritely defined as ServerA and ServerB.

  4. Scheduled replication between these two servers are not enabled .

When the new replica is initiated , the replication window does not close and shows that the 2nd replication is happening from the Server B to Server A . Since the selective document replication is enabled so that no documents are replicated to the new replica , the 2nd replication wipes out all documents in the database on ServerA .

How can I stop the second replication back from serverB to server A?

Subject: Creating a new replica , replicates back

how about giving serverB only reader access to the server A replica, this should prevent serverB from writing any changes back to serverA.
